How could a person go through life thinking Slowdive's production sounds 'dated'? I mean... this would mean you couldn't appreciate ANYTHING from the 80s! I pity your existance.

As far as I'm concerned, music was INVENTED in the 80s (or mor specifially, with Joy Division). Anything before that is just proto-music.

Good. You can work from there.
Some people say soul is the basis for a good taste in music, but I say it's Joy Division.

I'm guessing the traditional 60s/70s derived Beatles fodder.
If I'm right, I like Ned even more than I thought I did.

I'd love to compile those first 3 EPs on a CD
Having done this, I can assure you it's worthy. Blue Day is an incomplete compilation of these tracks.

No love for the "5EP" here? That's like the perfect mid-point between "Pygmalion" and "Souvlaki". I think I'll have to compile all the EPs together at some point, should make for a stunning collection.

Someone really cool and nice once sent my way an mp3 of Slowdive's "Souvlaki Space Station" and it just about sent me into orbit. I still continue to swoon over this track. It is very dreamy, very atmospheric, very wonderfully perfect for chilling out and letting the day melt away. The same goes for another song off the Souvlaki album, "Some Velvet Morning", which just so happens to be the song I'm listening to now.
*sighs happily* I've been looking to segue away from pure fangirlishness, you know, and actually listening to the whole of the Souvlaki album just might do the job.

*laughs* I think you might be confusing me with someone who has a broad knowledge of music, hon. I've only heard That Big Hit by Nancy Sinatra and have yet to check out anything by Lee Hazlewood, but I do have to say that earlier on I decided to do an ILE search and found out that it was a cover. Eh. I love Duran's "Watching The Detectives" and I know for damn sure it's a cover, so there's nothing wrong with counting covers here.
Eh. Methinks I should Google before mentioning Other Musical Artists, then. Because I sure as heck don't want to retreat back into that land of fangirl exclusivity (read: only listening to one musical artist for a huge block of time).

"I'll warn you straight off - today's post is dedicated to shoegazergiants Slowdive. If you're not interested, scroll down. Waaaay down.Why the love-in? Well, the Reading, England-based band will be therecipients of a double-disc anthology entitled Catch The Breeze onSanctuary Records, out September 27 in the UK. I say "recipients of"because no one from the band had any hand in putting this together [-Ed says Rachel had a bit of input]. Content-wise, it's a decent enoughcollection of stuff from their three albums and some EPs (Fulltracklisting here) and considering how hard the non-album material andPygmalion are to find, it's filling a real gap in record store shelves."

New song is so similar to 2017 album in production and effects that it could have been discarded material from those recording sessions. Not complaining at all, though, and looking very forward to the new LP.

In the last couple of years, I've found myself listening to the self-titled far more than I have the classics. Excited for the tour, I think they sound better now than they ever did then.

Seconding that. The only other band of their time that has had as equally a monumental second act like this has been Suede.
Tour dates! See you at the Warfield!
